STANDARD PROGRAMMING
When you plug in the dialer for the first time, you will hear a double beep and
all the lights will be on for 2 seconds, the keypad will continue to flash and
the clock will be set to 12:00.
PROGRAM THE TIME CLOCK
1. Press the [L] key, display will show “L”.
2. Press the [4] key, display will show “ L 4 12:00 ”. The first digit of
the time will be flashing. The flashing digit is the number you are currently
changing.
3. Using the keypad, enter the desired number.
The clock is in 24 hour mode. For example, if the display shows
“ L 4 1330 ”, the time is set at 1:30 pm.
To change the time to 8:15 pm, the sequence is (remember that the clock is
in 24 hour mode):
[ L ] , [ 4 ] , [ 2 ] , [ 0 ] , [ 1 ] , [ 5 ]
RECORDING A MESSAGE
Currently the keypad is flashing and will continue to flash until a message
has been recorded. The dialer cannot dial any phone numbers if a message
has not been recorded.
To record a voice message, press and hold the [R/P] key for 2 seconds, the
display will show “rEcord” and a beep is generated which alerts you to begin
recording. The microphone is located beside the speaker. Record all the infor-
mation you would like to be played in case of an emergency. For example:
"This is an emergency voice message, my name is John Smith, please send
help, I live at......My phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx" (if you have two phone
lines, give the phone number of the line that the dialer is not using.)
This dialer includes a special feature to let the called party terminate the emer-
gency message. By pressing "#" while the message is being played, the Dialer
will stop calling that number, then advance to the next number, if any. We recom-
mend that a short ending be recorded after the emergency message informing
the recipient of this feature (i.e. this message will call you x times and repeat x
times during each call, to acknowledge and discontinue further calls, press "#").
After you are finished recording the message, (maximum length of 40 seconds),
press [R/P] key, display will show “PLAY” and play back the message. After
playing the message, the display will return to clock mode. The keypad back-
light will stop flashing indicating that a message has been recorded.
The sequence to record a message is:
Press and hold [ R/P ] for 2 seconds , [ record message ] , press [ R/P ].
